Tina Curran-Taylor, LCMHC, LPMHC

Tina Curran-Taylor is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. She holds an NC LCMHC and a DE LPMHC and practices in Virginia. Tina focuses on helping people who are struggling and wanting a different way forward.

Tina keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. She creates an open space where clients can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction concerns. Conversations are nonjudgmental and aimed at finding practical steps that fit daily life.

Her work often addresses problems around abandonment, communication, control, and family of origin issues. She also helps with substance use concerns, panic attacks, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Tina pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and struggles with self-love while helping clients clarify life purpose and values.

Tina uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused work. Sessions tend to pair listening with concrete strategies so people leave with tools to try between visits.

People who reach out can expect a calm, pragmatic style. Tina supports goal setting and checks in about progress. She aims to help clients take manageable steps toward relief and clearer thinking.

How Tina brings CBT and trauma-informed care online

Tina uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can ease anxiety and low mood. CBT techniques are practical and oriented toward solving current problems and reducing symptoms over time.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the effects of past harm. That work often involves building safety, pacing difficult material, and learning coping skills to manage reactivity and flashbacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions around those needs in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging works well for quick updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
